Integrated Primary Care

Dogs and Cats can’t make healthy choices for themselves. That’s where we come in. Together we can keep your beloved companion as happy and healthy as can be. We take a modern, proactive approach to Veterinary Medicine focusing on Disease Prevention as a specific discipline. Our customized preventive plans are unique and effective in keeping illness at bay.

Our Preventive Care patients enjoy the means of having all of their healthcare needs in one location. Similar to a modern pediatrician’s office, the RegionalVet lobby is partitioned separating illness and emergency patients from well patients. However, we’ve expanded on this model dedicating an entire wing of exam rooms to preventive care only. Our Preventive Care patients have access to all of our primary care, emergency and specialty physicians.

Total Health

Congratulations! Perhaps you’ve just adopted a new friend, or have raised your puppy or kitten successfully through the early stages of training and behavioral adaptation. Your adult pet has new considerations now, and proactive health management becomes more important than ever.

That’s where the Health care Team at RegionalVet comes in. We’ve simplified your adult pet’s health with our Total Health Plan. Tailored around illness prevention and disease detection, the medical recommendations and protocols for health and preventive care are based on current medical science, years of evidence based wellness, illness and emergency clinical experience, and the belief that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. With a focus on education and informed decision making, our Health Care Team is specifically selected and trained to understand the different life stages and health of your pet, as well as breed specific risk factors. We take a human approach to your pet’s health, considering factors like proper nutrition, exercise, immunization and professional health screening. Dogs and cats age five to seven times faster than we do and diseases progress more quickly. For our best friends who can’t tell us where it hurts, proactive health management makes common sense.

If you haven’t done so already, call today to start a Total Health Plan for your best friend!

Keeping Your Pet Healthy

Our Total Health Plan considers your pet's specific breed, lifestyle and age and takes a proactive approach to the health your pet deserves.

Total Health Plan

With this innovative approach, the Total Health Plan provides optimal disease and illness prevention. Regardless of your pets age, breed or medical history there are five basic steps to the lifelong health of your pet:

Exercise

Physical Examination

Disease Prevention

Wellness Diagnostics

Nutrition

Wellness Plans

These wellness plans begin before your new pet reaches 8 weeks of age, so you’ll want to plan ahead to get your new companion off to a good start. Although most new pets are adopted or sold claiming to have had all of their shots, and be in perfect health, this can be misleading as puppies and kittens need to stay on a regular schedule for vaccines and preventative medications such as deworming. In fact, most new pets need to be seen about once per month, up until the time they are 6 months old. Be sure to read up on your Puppy’s Wellness Plan or Kitten’s Wellness Plan to learn what to expect at these first appointments, as a new pet parent.

At RegionalVet, we celebrate aging as the reward for healthy living. Preventive veterinary care, like our Total Health Plan, is proven to add years and quality to the life of your elder pet.

Because pets age much more quickly than we do, our Total Health Plan uses geriatric screening to promote early detection and treatment of disease, thus allowing us to begin more effective treatment options before any issues become debilitating.

Most pet parents are surprised to know that their pets are considered “senior” by the time they are 7 years old. However, by taking a proactive approach to your pet’s health, and considering all specific risk factors for their lifestyle and breed, we can manage the aspects of a healthy aging process for your pet.

Our health care team at Regional Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center will set the standard for patient care client education and client service. This can only be accomplished by educating our clients as to what the best care is for their best friends.
